Don't want to commit
Does anyone know of any companies that will hire you without any commitment of days or hours that you can work? I know that's asking for a lot. I am currently employed, but work can be very sporadic at times and other times very busy. I want something to fill in those gaps.
Thanks for any help!
You commit to how many lines sm
you want to do a day. No insurance as you are an SE.
Yes, IC but required to commit to a schedule. sm
These are not IC positions and the IRS knows. Their reward for breaking the law and cheating both the Transcriptionist and the IRS is coming.
An IC asked to commit to a schedule could...
technically be considered an employee. We are in construction, and between weather, seasonality, and our workers not showing up consistently, we always 1099'd our workers. Our accountant, however, said that if we had significant control over the schedule of our workers and directed what they do while they are working, they are considered employees according to the IRS. I think most MT jobs would reflect that same standard.
Would a company ask an MT to commit identity theft?
Why would anyone do this or ask someone else to do this? I do not understand.
IC status and being asked to commit to specific scheduling question
I thought I understood that this was not permitted to be asked if one was an IC. I work a very, very stable schedule as it is, but they want me to tell them EXACTLY when I will work and also will I commit to weekends as well. What do you all think??? 
You can't commit identify theft with general personal info
that is found in a resume. They would need to have more detailed info like ss#, which hopefully people aren't dumb enough to put in their resume anyway. Definitely if someone calls you asking for this, don't give it to them. However, as for the people that sent in their resume, it's not possible to steal your identity with the same stuff they could have just as easily gotten out of the phone book. Of course, I do believe that you should be cautious about your personal information, but there's no need to be so paranoid (like the Brian guy on the main page). People should be keeping a close eye on their credit reports anyway with the world the way it is now.
